Has anyone taken the GRE at home?

I am taking the GRE (at home) in a few weeks time and I'm interested to hear about how others' found the experience and whether you had any issues/technical problems?

I haven't taken it yet but I'm hearing a lot of people having mixed experiences. I know theres a lot of issues surrounding Proctor U and at times internet inconsistencies. I myself am wondering whether I should take it at home... Hopefully this goes well for you!

I highly recommend checking out r/GRE to see others' experiences. I've also been hearing mixed experiences. Good luck!

Scrolling through it seems like some people have been sharing their at-home experience

I took it about three weeks ago on a Mac and it went very smooth! I would recommend it because 1) you can take it at your comfort zone 2) safer than going to a testing center  4) can choose any start time. Setting up the tech stuff was not hard either, and the proctor I had was super helpful and prompt. That being said, I did saw some horror stories on reddit.

Thanks so much, I know I have read a lot of really bad reviews that's why I'm a bit hesitant. However, I don't have a test centre in my city so I will save a lot of money taking it at home.
